Feature Request: H264 Support?

Description

Those of us out there with slow upload speeds would love to have a lighter means of supplying the video feed. H264 is undoubtedly less of a network/disk pig than MJPG is, even though MJPG certainly has its uses. Is there any way to implement H264 support so network based cameras can utilize that feed for netcam_url instead of MJPG for use with Motion?

For what it's worth, ZoneMinder's most recent (at the time of this posting) master branch has H264 support, and it works pretty well. Perhaps that could be used as a reference? (I can't lie, it's pretty nice running 2x the framerate at 25% the network load for no noticeable difference in image quality...)

What this project needs are programmers to do it. I am all for it. If someone wants to do it, let me know and I will grant access to the subversion. I am trying to learn Git but I am not comfortable with it so any remote Git branches will not be pulled in in near future
